Hi ,
There are less than two weeks to submit comments on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) on the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA)!! Comments are due Friday, August 5, at 11:59 pm ET.
NCRC drafted three sample comment letters, including one for health care practitioners, that can be found on our #TreasureCRA page ([link removed]) . Some of the comments have been flagged as form letters. These will still count, but we advise you to take our sample comment letters and add a few sentences or paragraphs, so your letters are unique and count more.
I want to thank these members and allies for sending in comments (if I missed you, let me know...not all comments have been posted yet by the agencies):
* St. Louis Equal Housing and Community Reinvestment Alliance (SLEHCRA)
* Come Dream. Come Build (CDCB)
* Veteran's Center of Greater Atlanta
* Healthy Communities Delaware
* Oasis Center
* Brooklyn Neighborhood Association
* Tule River Economic Development Corporations
Organizations working on comment letters include (and a number of these are coalitions):
* Metropolitan Milwaukee Fair Housing Council
* Americans for Financial Reform Education Fund
* The Greenlining Institute
* Public Citizen
* Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)
* Child Care Aware of America
* Prosperity Now!
* Woodstock Institute
* California Reinvestment Coalition
* Association for Neighborhood and Housing Development
* California Housing Partnership
* UnidosUS
* Pittsburgh Community Reinvestment Group (PCRG)
* Housing Assistance Council
* Opportunity Finance Now
* Coastal Enterprises Inc.
* NACEDA
* National NeighborWorks Association
* Georgia ACT and SCACED
* Poverty and Race Research Action Council
* National People’s Action
* Chicago Community Loan Fund
So far the "pro" comments outweigh the "con" comments, but we have to keep our comments flowing! The best chance we have to make this a strong change is if community groups put up a good showing and send in comment letters!
Happy commenting!
